Ruben Ravenberg, the General Director of the Foundation for Forest Management and Supervision (SBB), has complied with a court ruling in a defamation case filed against him by Krishnadath Joerawan. The court mandated that Ravenberg issue a public rectification regarding previous statements linking Joerawan, a board member, to criminal activities. The apology will be published in prominent Surinamese newspapers, including De Ware Tijd, Times of Suriname, Dagblad Suriname, and Starnieuws. The case stemmed from allegations made by Ravenberg, which the court found to be unsubstantiated. By publishing the rectification, Ravenberg has fulfilled the court’s decision, bringing the legal dispute to a close. This case highlights the importance of accountability in public statements and the legal consequences of defamation.
